Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

People First. The most effective government is a government closest to the people. South Dakota leads by example in giving power to the people through limited government, individual liberty, and personal responsibility. I will be your voice and advocate in the House, and I welcome your ideas and feedback as your District 14 representative.Strong Communities and Healthy Families. Communities need strong and healthy families to thrive and prosper. As a father, I want our state to provide our next generation the hope of a better, safer future through quality education, public safety, access to healthcare, and community resources. Government can play a role in this, yet should respect and appreciate the community, non-profit, and faith-based organizations already doing great work in our state.Vibrant Economy. South Dakota is consistently ranked as one of the best places in the country to do business. Supporting businesses and the employees that make it all happen will keep our economy vibrant. We can help people start, grow, and retain businesses by keeping taxes low, regulations reasonable, and by providing opportunities to retain our best and brightest people in South Dakota.
